Take the Money

Load the gun and charge the ticket
And make your retreat from cold LA
Hey sorry but the heat is on
Don't be thinking that the thrill is gone
Enjoy your exile by the bay

And take the money
Keep the wheel baby
He won't touch you
Just wants to feel you baby
It's never easy for the other woman
Take the money and keep the change baby
Never question the arrangement baby
It's never easy for the other woman

His kind of love's just not romantic
It won't curb an appetite
So I guess he found your price
Throw some love away for paradise
You wake up screaming in the night

Take the money
Take the wheel baby
He won't touch you
Just wants to feel you baby
It's never easy for the other woman
Take the money
Keep the change baby
Never question the arrangement baby
It's never easy for the other woman
No...

And long ago, if you'll remember
You had a different point of view
Back when love was all you had
You survived although the times were bad
Look what the years have done to you

CHORUS
